Austrian cellist and performer Katharina Gross is a source of inspiration for many contemporary classical composers. Now, she’s put together a new performance, Sehnsucht, comprising her own music and soundscapes – played, spoken and sung.

Sehnsucht is a word used to describe thoughts and feelings that can lead to depression, but could equally fuel creativity. In five scenes, Katharina Gross and her cello embody the lives of women, beings and states of mind in a performance inspired by classical mythology, depth psychology and the literary works of Plato, Ovid, Ingeborg Bachmann and Terézia Mora.
